I forgot to take a picture of my homemade yogurt before I ate it but as you can tell, I ate it. Therefore, it passed the taste test. I sliced up a banana, added some stevia and pecans. All organic. Yummy. Not as tangy as I like, probably because I used storebought yogurt as [...]

The yummy goodness to make never stops: Ice Cream in a Bag. Oh yeah.

More yumminess to make: Honey Granola

I made yogurt! It’s chilling in the fridge now — a review and photo are forthcoming. So proud.

In case you need another reason to start eating local: As Imports Increase, a Tense Dependence on China
China has become the leading supplier of many food ingredients, such as apple juice, a primary sweetener in many foods; garlic and garlic powder, a major flavor agent; sausage casings and cocoa butter.
China now supplies 80 percent of [...]

The nice thing about living in San Diego is that it’s never too late to start a garden. It’s just a matter of what to plant and when to plant it. Oh, and where. Kind of like the five w’s we learned in journalism class [who, what, where, when and um, how -- I know, [...]

Freedom is growing your own food. That’s the philosophy of Jules Dervaes and his three grown children. They are supporting themselves by farming almost every inch of their 1/10th-acre yard in Pasadena, California — complete with chickens, ducks and goats. Their amazing urban farm, which yields three TONS of yummy organic food per year, [...]

I need to get organized, and I’m not talking about sorting papers and decluttering my home, though I need to do that too — oy, do I! No, I’m talking about mental organization.
In the past month or so — since Earth Day, really — I’ve been obsessively reading everything I can about how to [...]

Now that the pet food contamination scare has spread to the human food supply, the Organic Consumers Association has some excellent reasons, besides all the global warming stuff, to buy and eat local: you may be eating contaminated food.

Each year, the average American consumes 260 pounds of imported food.
98.7% of foods imported into the [...]

I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions so I didn’t make any again this year, but I have just been inspired to make a late resolution after all, thanks to an adorable young lady who makes raw food sound positively palatable. Plus, via her vlog on Freshtopia.net, Tanja shows you how to make this stuff. [...]

I’ve made a huge change in my eating habits over the past couple of years, going from the All-American Fast/Convenience Food Diet to mostly organic whole foods that I fix from scratch. Anyone who’s known me for very long would be astonished. I know I am.
For instance, who would believe that I could [...]

It’s all crap. I feel like crap and I look like crap. Yesterday after Christmas dinner, I farted FOUR freaking times in front of the in-laws [Robby's girlfriend's parents, might as well call 'em in-laws, they will be soon enough.] We all made a joke of it but I was very embarrassed, of course, because [...]

Yum.

I’ve never understood people who don’t have, um, issues with food. Like the doctor who told me last summer to stop eating gluten, dairy and eggs. Or his nurse, who blithely ordered me to eat only steamed vegetables and rice. Did they have any idea who they were talking to?
Obviously not.
I am, as Overeaters [...]

My friend nakedjen has been baking up a storm:

These cookies are not what you think. You know there’s a story. If only I could hand you one to enjoy while you sit back and read.
